I spent 8 days there with my husband. The house is wonderful, very spacious, clean and equipped with everything you would need to live there all summer long (which we wished we could have). We were there in September, so it was nice to have a fire in a large wood stove in the evenings. The place is decorated with original artwork. The surroundings are beautiful, and the lake is great for canoeing and swimming. It is so very peaceful there. At the same time, it is located close to the Cabot Trail and some great live music on the Ceilidh Trail (west coast). Last but not least, Michael, our host, was awesome, so friendly and generous. He even lent my husband one of his favorite hats for the duration of our stay. Thank you so much for being such a great host.We highly recommend this place to couples and families.
Amazing Amazing Amazing. We cannot wait to stay here again. The hosts, the property, and that view are all exceptional. You will not be disappointed if you select this home!
A beautiful place, so spacious and nicely set up. The views were breathtaking, everything you need to have a wonderful stay. Wished we could of stayed longer
Great private location with lake views and access. Host was very responsive to all comunication and requests. Lovely rustic house with good kitchen set up and laundry facilities.
Michael and Winnie greeted us upon arrival and showed us around. Beautiful people and the best hosts. Very friendly and accommodating. Our accommodation was above and beyond, equipped with everything you could possibly need for your stay. Our cottage was so comfortable and peaceful. We would definitely stay there again and have recommended it to family.
We loved staying in the Forest Lake House! Michael and Winnie were gracious hosts and very welcoming. The house was well equipped and very comfortable. We enjoyed kayaking, the canoe and roasting marshmallows over the fire in front of the house overlooking Lake Ainslie. A true gem!
Do you want to relax? This is the opportunity. We had wonderful days at Lake Ainslie and enjoyed the silence and nature. A big thank you to the owner Michael and Winnie and their fantastic family! Hopefully, we will see each other again!
Wonderful, beautiful, and peaceful setting. The cabin is fully updated with new appliances and met all of our expectations. We especially enjoyed gazing over the lake and using the kayak. We wish we could have stayed longer.
Beautiful location, didn't have a change to go in the water but the building was clean, lots of blankets and fully equipped kitchen, was nice to have a BBQ and A/C on the main floor too, upstairs was good, no A/C but a fan was nice to have to keep the air moving
Central location odor Cape Breton and the central/coastal areas. Stunning place right on the lake. Sunrises and moonshine on the lake. Hosts are wonderful. Planning our next trip.
Loved this property. Our only regret was that we didn't book it for a longer stay! Very comfy beds. Loved the comfy throws. Kitchen had everything we needed. Great hosts. Would stay again.
Beautiful property on the lakeside, but itâs about more than just the quality of the accommodation. The hosts have considered every possible comfort and thoughtfully provided it, a fire pit, chairs, canoe and kayak, great WiFi etc. We had a wonderful 3 day stay, and would love to come back sometime soon.
Beautiful peaceful home away from home. Perfect for a family (we were there with our two kids), and we particularly loved being able to canoe with the kids right out of the backyard! Michael and Winnie were lovely hosts too.
This was the best place ever. Our house was great and so were the hosts. I highly recommend staying at least a week to be able to do everything around.
The 4 of us felt very comfortable and relaxed.
Thank you both for the best place ever. So clean, and spacious.
Until we see each other again.
We really enjoyed our stay. The home was rustic and modern. Well appointed kitchen with more than everything you need. Quality wine glasses and coffee mugs. Comfortable beds, great living area and the owner brought us some hot homemade pizza. My grandson and I enjoyed fishing and kayaking on the lake. I could watch him fish from the great chairs on the front deck. Great experience!
If you want beauty and tranquility on or off the water then this is the place. Waterfront coffee mornings looking at the Eagles hunt for their breakfast, fish jumping and more. Activities for all ages, swimming, fishing, kayaking, canoeing or just hanging out at the lake. The cottage is gorgeous, staying summer or winter. The owners Micheal and Winnie have done a great job and continue to do so. Thank you Micheal and Winnie it was a pleasure. Our paths may cross once again. All the best. Line/Ron
